A former research farm in Ottawa's Greenbelt is being turned into a hub for testing the algorithms, sensors and other technology that will allow vehicles to drive themselves. Invest Ottawa, the city's economic development agency, launched the Ottawa L5 test track on Friday. "So this facility here at Ottawa L5 is perfect." "It's essentially a mini-city where we can test ... some of our more advanced software in that controlled environment," Courville said. The Greenbelt property across from the Nepean Sportsplex will not just become a focal point for vehicle technology, however.
